Educational Requirements for Child Labor

Educational requirements for child labor, as outlined in child labor laws, mandate that minors must generally be enrolled in school to work legally. This ensures that children receive an education while engaging in work. The laws often specify the number of hours a minor can work, especially during school days, to prioritize their schooling. Employers must verify that working minors are meeting educational standards. The aim is to protect children's rights to education and development while allowing them to gain work experience in a safe environment.
